Augsburg vs Heidenheim Prediction 15 February 2026
🔊 Will Augsburg get their revenge on Heidenheim for the first-round defeat? The odds are in their favor, given the Bavarians' unbeaten home streak and the dire form of the "red-blue-whites." After just 22 rounds, Frank Schmidt's side could find themselves trailing by nine points from the 17th spot, effectively sealing their fate four months before the season's end. Let's be clear: our editorial team doesn't foresee a miracle from the visitors at the WWK Arena.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round, Heidenheim defeated Augsburg at the Voith-Arena (2-1) - marking Frank Schmidt's side's first of three wins in the current Bundesliga season. Mikkel Kaufmann and Serlord Conteh secured the three points for their team. Phillip Tietz, who moved to Mainz during the winter transfer window, scored the sole goal for the Fuggerstädter.
Head-to-head statistics Augsburg - Heidenheim
Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 In the last round, Augsburg suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Mainz, conceding both goals from penalties. Prior to this, Manuel Baum's side had gone four matches unbeaten, securing valuable victories over Bayern Munich and St. Pauli. Currently, they are just three points clear of the relegation zone, meaning the "Fuggers" could easily find themselves back in the danger zone.
🟢 The good news for the Bavarians is that they remain unbeaten at their home ground, the WWK Arena, for six consecutive matches, with three wins and three draws. Augsburg have accumulated 22 points so far, and a win on Sunday could edge them closer to the top half of the table, as they are only three points behind Union Berlin, who sit in ninth place.

The club sits at the bottom of the league table, trailing the playoff zone for league survival by six points.
🔵 The Red-Blue-Whites have secured the fewest victories (three) and suffered the most losses, scoring only 19 goals (the league's lowest tally) while conceding 47 (a negative record). Over the last eight rounds, the team managed just two draws, with the remaining six matches ending in defeat.

Latest news
Augsburg
🎙️ Manuel Baum's reaction after the loss to Mainz: "We aimed to play with purpose, but our plan was disrupted in the first ten minutes. The situation with the first penalty became decisive in the match. After the whistle, I immediately spoke to the fourth official. There was a check with VAR, but even after a minute-long review, nothing was found. It's incomprehensible to me that the referee didn't go to review the incident himself. We're disappointed not only with the officiating but also because we conceded a goal in that situation. As for the second penalty, it was just a matter of execution."
❌ Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Chrislain Matsima, Dimitris Giannoulis, and Yannick Keitel will be unavailable for the Fuggerstädter on Sunday.
Heidenheim
🎙️ Frank Schmidt at the pre-match press conference: "The situation isn't ideal, we understand that. What will help us? Only points, only victories. We'll have our next chance to achieve that on Sunday. That's why I believe we can claim three points in Augsburg. We need to act in a way that shows we're not just hoping, but truly believing in success. I understand that after a weak start to the year, doubts naturally arise. We experience them too from time to time, but despite this, we constantly work to ensure the team believes in themselves. It doesn't get easier; the pressure is mounting. But once again: no one here is giving up, we'll do everything possible, and we've truly taken our fans' message to heart. It's crucial to give 100% so that the passion on the field is genuine. I expect this from every player who steps onto the pitch in Augsburg and in the weeks to come."
❌ Niklas Dorsch has been ill all week, and Mathias Honsak hasn't trained due to hip issues. Adam Kolle, Leart Paqarada, and Leonidas Stergiou remain unavailable for the Red-Blue-Whites.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Felix Zwayer is set to officiate at the WWK Arena. Over his last 10 matches, he has averaged 4.3 yellow cards per game. Meanwhile, Augsburg's Bundesliga average for yellow cards stands at 2.6 (the highest in the league), while Heidenheim averages 1.6. We're opting for over 3.5 yellow cards, a bet that came through in their first-round head-to-head.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Given both teams are languishing at the bottom of the table, it's reasonable to assume their main struggle is a lack of scoring prowess. We're backing under 3.5 goals. This bet has hit in 7 of Augsburg's last 8 home games. There's no need to reiterate Heidenheim's attacking woes.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Baum's side averages 4.4 corners after 21 rounds, while Schmidt's team averages 4.9. In 6 of their last 7 away games, the "red-blue-whites" have seen over 9.5 total corners. We'll stick with this option.
Editorial Prediction
In their recent home fixtures, Manuel Baum's side have been impressive, resilient, and above all, defensively solid, conceding none in three of their last six matches. In the previous two home encounters against Heidenheim, the hosts emerged victorious. We anticipate they will secure a third consecutive win. Given the visitors' struggles in attack, it's reasonable to predict that the "Fuggers" will keep another clean sheet, with a final scoreline of 2-0. We're backing Augsburg to win with quite appealing odds.
